Eagles C Jason Kelce called the team's offensive line play a "disgrace."

"Bottom line is our defense plays good enough, our offense struggles to move the ball when we don't do our job," Kelce said. "And right now we don't run the ball when we need to, we don't pass block when we need to, and it's a disgrace right now." Sam Bradford got the offense going in the second half of the Week 4 loss the Redskins, but the Eagles struggled to run the ball after taking a 20-16 lead early in the fourth quarter and could not protect Bradford on a failed comeback drive. With LT Jason Peters (quad) and RT Lane Johnson (knee) now banged up, it is unlikely to offensive line play improves anytime in the near future. Mon, Oct 5, 2015 08:44:00 AM

It's a big plus for LeSean McCoy's run blocking in a date with the Texans. Fri, Oct 31, 2014 01:45:00 PM

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it's "pretty much a certainty" that C Jason Kelce (sports-hernia surgery) returns for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Speaking Tuesday, Kelce called himself a game-time decision, but he's been running with the first-team offense in this week's practices. Barring a setback, he should be active for the first time since Week 3. It's excellent timing with RG Todd Herremans battling a biceps injury. Tue, Oct 28, 2014 05:05:00 PM

"I'm going to push it this week and see where I'm at," Kelce said after Tuesday's practice, where he ran with the first team. That would indicate that, barring setbacks, he's going to start against the Texans. Kelce's return would be another huge boost for an Eagles rushing attack that's been slowly turning itself around in recent weeks. Tue, Oct 28, 2014 02:04:00 PM

Ryan Mathews (knee) was listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Redskins.

Coach Doug Pederson labeled Mathews "ready to go" on Thursday. Mathews should return to his lead role, but the Eagles have been unable to establish a running game while being blown out the last two weeks. Mathews will be a risky FLEX play in his return.

Darren Sproles rushed seven times for 14 yards and one touchdown and caught 6-of-6 targets for 35 yards in the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Bengals.

His six catches tied for the second-most on the team on a day Carson Wentz threw the ball a season-high 60 times. Like last week, the Eagles fell behind early and were trailing by multiple scores much of the day, leading to Sproles dominating backfield snaps over Wendell Smallwood. Sproles was able to punch in a one-yard touchdown run late in the second half. Sproles should see a similar workload next week against the Redskins.

Jordan Matthews (ankle, questionable) said he will "definitely" play in Week 14 against the Redskins.

Matthews has practiced fully the last two days and should be all set to resume his role as the Eagles' primary slot receiver. Last week marked the first absence of J-Matt's three-year career. Fantasy owners should view him as a WR3 this week.

Eagles RG Brandon Brooks (illness) has been released from the hospital.

Brooks was hospitalized with an unknown illness which forced him to sit out Monday night's game against the Packers. It is encouraging he was released this early in the week, but his status for Week 13 is completely up in the air.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson has been suspended 10 games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

Johnson's appeal was denied by an arbitrator, but that might not be the end of the story. Johnson's counsel said they will "consider all available legal options." It is possible the tackle will sue to put off the suspension even longer, but for now he is expected to start serving his ban immediately. Johnson is eligible to return Week 16. LG Allen Barbre was expected to make the switch to right tackle with Johnson out, but Philadelphia could turn to fifth-round rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai instead.
